It's those little moments that make up everything. Right now I challenge you to be observant of your surroundings. Be present where you are right now, really soak it all in. Now, name 3 things in the moment right now that make you smile.
For me it's hearing the birds outside the window, smelling the fresh blooms from our giant tree, and Charlie suntanning on the deck.
If you continue doing this daily, you'll start to appreciate all those little moments so much more.

From the very first time I met Mark & Sarah, I knew their day would be kick-arse because they are kick-arse people. Now post-wedding I can say it certainly was an epic, amazing day... In every way. When you get to hang out with people like these guys, great stuff always happens.
As I finish up their pictures tonight, I wanna say that I kicked-arse too. It has to be OK to say that every once in a while. Though I certainly don't think I am the best in the world at what I do by any stretch of the imagination, I do make some good shit with my camera every now and again. And I'm not afraid to say that.
If you don't believe in yourself, who else will?

Hello Colorado!
we are SO excited to meet you this week! yesterday while on a beautiful drive, we absolutely had to pull over at this beautiful spot to take solo photos. this is our first time in the Colorado area, and it definitely did not dissapoint! we drove for hours on this highway and saw so much variety around us. everything from snowy mountain tops, to red rock plains. we'll be in Yellowstone for the next couple of days, & we're still looking for couples to shoot with in Utah later this week! if you're interested in collaborating let me know ❤️

I guess my instagram is now dedicated to these two cause I can’t stop posting pics of them 😂 Also I say this every time after I shoot a wedding with @haley_bateman but MAN do I miss you! Having withdrawals!! Hahaha Disneyland soon?

This Lake Minnewanka adventure elopement hit the blog! Shoulder season in Banff means lakes are frozen and trails are muddy, but there's an uncommon peacefulness to the area as skiing tapers down and the mad rush of summer has yet to begin. Weather is unpredictable, but adventurous ones who visit at this time of year will be rewarded with secluded views and a tranquility found only in these fleeting weeks.

Anyone else excited for summer? What’s everyone big summer plans?

This shot was a photo I shot from last season shooting for @melissajsoule as her associate photographer. This wedding was so beautiful I’m honored to have been apart of it documenting their day.

I’ve been slightly MIA this last week..
The last couple of weeks have been nonstop crazy! Very little sleep but lots of things to be excited about. Learn how to love growing! 🌱 .
Here’s a cute pic from a session over the weekend with this soon-to-be graduate and teacher! 🎉🍎🎓

yesterday, we flew into Denver and immediately rushed to this beautiful place to meet up with Kayla & Nick from @devotedandwild ❤️
I'm so grateful for their kindness and patience, getting our rental car took much longer than expected and by the time we arrived at the park, the sun had already set and we barely had any light left.
this situation was artistically challenging for me, I pushed my settings higher than they'd ever been, and decided to trust my camera and embrace the noise.
not all beautiful moments are sun drenched, and I think this is such a beautiful example of this. after this shoot, Jeremiah & I decided to stay at the park and wander through the darkness. the happiness I felt was so overwhelming it nearly brought me to tears, we live in such a beautiful world and I love that I get to shine a light on all the positive things that surround us in daily life ❤️

Madly missin this girl lately. Why must we live several states apart now?? Surround yourself with people who inspire you, make you wanna be better than you are, and who will walk through the dark & messy with you. So thankful she’s in my tribe. @thebrazenmae

I’m so happy to be back in Alaska. I think it’ll always feel like home no matter how long I leave it for 🧡✌🏻🌞 I haven’t posted in like two weeks, but it felt good to take a break from social media for a bit while we were traveling through Canada 🍁

Annie not only had the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen, she also has the sweetest soul EVER. Special thanks to @juliechristinephotography for inviting me along to second shoot this wedding with her. It was a true pleasure to be surrounded by so many kind, loving spirits that night. Congratulations Annie & Josiah
